[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apsol:
I'll try to explain as best as possible. Im from portugal and i bought my desire (second hand) in ebay uk in february. When i recieved the phone I opened the box and I saw that there wasnt a invoice, not from the purchase between me and the seller but between the seller and the store where she purchased but also do not know if it was mandatory to include and also the thing that was least bothered at the time.

The phone came branded to t-mobile but i s-off and rooted, so it was not a problem.

The problem is that a few months back here the phone starts to reboot itself. I had to take the battery to stop. But starting from yesterday has worsened a lot, anything I do, the phone restarts and does nothing but this, sometimes he even starts but after entering the PIN, it restarts again. I know its a hardware problem more precisely the motherboard, right?

Already contacted the support of HTC in my country but they tell me to go to the store where purchased, and then they send it for repair. And this is a big problem because as you know I live in Portugal and I can not go to the store where the phone was purchased. Then they told me that I could send to the repair center in my country, out of warranty. Once i have investigated further the identity repairs in Portugal, I saw lots of complaints services, such as unresolved issues, products that come worse than when they were, high prices, etc. Anyway, I better not try their services.

The only solution is to buy another mobile phone, or is there a light at the end of the tunnel? I love this phone and I do not like the idea of ​​having to buy another much more cheaper because I can not buy an equal or similar at the moment. And I'll be very frustrated when using it, after having the experience of using a Desire.

Thank you.

P.S: btw, who does the repairs in Portugal is the Arvato Services.

Anyone?....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
try cyanogenmod - it's a faultless ROM.

If the issue persists then you may send it in for repair since I doubt there's anything else for it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrthain:
Sounds like the problem I had with my first Desire. It finally was a hardware problem and I got it replaced via my warranty.

In the first couple of weeks everything was fine but then it became really instable and rebooted in loops. Sometimes it run flawless for some hours and then again rebootet and rebootet. Partially even while booting, it restartet again. It became unusable and I had to send it in. Sorry to tell you that.

It was checked and replaced by Arvato Germany
[HD2 General] jetsetwilly:
I've been using Android NAND for a while with no problems but the other day I struggled getting into bootloader. Eventually (for no obvious reason) it went in and I flashed the shipped rom. I tried bootloader again but no dice. Then I made the fatal error of flashing HSPL again only to get stuck on the O2 screen. I can't get any further.

I can't connect to the pc because it doesn't see anything and I can't get it onto bootloader to flash anything else. I've tried everything I can think of bar JTAG (which is out of my league) and I'm supposed to be sending it back to HTC tomorrow for a repair.

Question is, will HTC see HSPL installed without access to the bootloader and, if they do, will they tell me where to shove it? :confused:

..tried searching everywhere before starting a new thread...
[HD2 General] orangekid:
How did you flash shipped if you couldn't get into bootloader?

You're doing vol-down and power on right? If you get a splash you should be able to get into bootloader, because SOMETHING is telling your splash to show up.

Try putting the correct shipped on your SD and power up with vol down.

I think they will be able to tell that you modified it.
[HD2 General] jetsetwilly:
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try it again with the sd card. The only thing I can think is that the battery died on me almost as soon as I tried the sd card shipped rom. I saw the bootloader for a second and then the phone went off. When I charged it back up, no bootloader...

The problem is I've tried so many things, I'm struggling remembering the exact order of my screw up. I have a feeling after the battery died and I couldn't get it into bootloader, HSPL was working and I flashed the stock rom using USB flash.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Well, I've seen lots of warnings about having your battery greater than 50% while flashing, which (obviously) means that if your device has run out of juice while flashing could lead to unrepairable (by end-user) issues .

Try orangekid's advice and report back.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
when flashing from SD, SPL and radio are the first 2 things it flashes afaik, so power out right when you started flashing could be a serious issue.

Hopefully what I said above works though, if your SPL is completely fubar I have no idea what HTC will say, what I would tell them if you try to RMA is you had problems with random reboots and did a hard-reset, then when it started flashing it just turned off for no reason and now it's weird or something like that so they think it was a regular stock hard reset thing and not a "oh **** I have to restore to factory cuz I have HSPL on here" thing.
[HD2 General] jetsetwilly:
Ok, so I tried about 10 more times with no joy - at least it's consistently broken now. :o

Thanks guys, just hoping for an 11th hour rescue. I'll send it off tomorrow and report back the outcome with HTC. I appreciate your help. :) I knew the lack of charge and flashing via bootloader was going to trip me up one day.
[HD2 General] yuvaraj80:
Was HTC able to bring the phone back to its original state or were you able to do something to get the issue fixed? I have the same problem. All I did was to load prj Clean Desire v0.3.2 ROM (this ROM is the same as Cotulla's but with few fixes). This was the first time I ever attempted loading an Android ROM on to my HD2. All looked well initially. The phone was rebooted after ROM was installed. I did intial setup like facebook acct, email, wi-fi, gprs, etc. Then after few hours, the menu button (windows button in HD2) and back button quit working. Even the power button when pressed for few seconds wouldn't bring up the power off and other options. I thought a soft reset would fix it and then I pulled the battery off and restarted. All I now get is the first boot screen with "123456...go.go.go..." and then a white screen with HTC on it. Nothing more. It is stuck there. I tried getting in to bootloader, but I couldn't. Holding down the volume-down and then pressing the power button just restarts the phone as mentioned above and takes me to the HTC screen. Not sure how can I get to the bootloader. Desperately looking for help....
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
I don't think it will work on the atrix. I am at work so i cannot download through the firewall.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/08/01/download-fully-working-fm-radio-app-for-the-droid3/

If no one tries before the evening i will do it myself and post back
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
it's small enough, i downloaded it over the phone itself. it installs fine and detects the headphones but shows a dialog "is being launched, please wait" and never stops. i tried pressing back and the dialog stopped, but no sound.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
even if our phone has the chip necessary, there is no antenna for it, so it wouldn't work (well at least) anyway .
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
I believe the headphones are used as an antenna.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
i second that.
[Atrix 4G General] hem.acharya:
there was a discussion going on about FM radio in atrix.. it concluded that though the chip supports FM transmission and receiving there is no hardware connection made by motorola to be connected anywhere because of which it can't work..

even if its found that the connection is there.. it needs support from kernel .. so a dev can look at this..

a dev posted that he will only look at supporting FM functionality in kernel when he is sure about the hardware connection available in the chip.. so he was asking about the chip level layout.. i think nobody has that layout info yet..
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
unless they designed the headphone port with that in mind, it will not work that way. you have to have a physical connection between the transceiver and the port which i am pretty sure they did not do (otherwise we'd have the functionality out of the box)
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
Nexus one fm radio works using the headphones as an antenna even though FM radio support has never been official. So perhaps even though the function isn't available out of the box it could still be connected. I also believe that the Motorola cliq received an unofficial FM radio, but I could be wrong about it.
[Atrix 4G General] JxWayne89:
The Nexus One app works with the Atrix? If so can you please direct me with to link?
[Atrix 4G General] efishta:
No, he was saying that the N1 FM app works by using the headphones as an antenna, so it may work in a similar way on the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] techdigital:
The FM Radio Works Fine, i can hear and all...

Im on the Droid 3 and im not having a issue, it may be the apk, try this one...

Well it wont let me drop the link... just search FMRADIO.APK

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Jeff:
Hi, I was wondering if there is a simple way to flash over the lockscreen in my CM7 nightly rom to allow for the statusbar to be opened from it. I know this can be accomplished by using widgetlocker, but I want to keep my rom as lightweight as possible. Does anyone know a simple way of doing this with flashable mods or through metamorph etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Jeff:
bump, anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Iimagine that this would involve some pretty serious framework modifications. Its probably not impossible but i have not come across this before. Your best option would be to somehow suggest this to the CM team, they may incorperate it in the future.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Jeff:
Yeah ill drop that in the suggestion box.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] sceptikart:
This is my first boot animation and i want to share with you.

It works on my Overcome Jupiter Rom.

Rename the file from "bootanimation_rockon.zip" to "bootanimation.zip" and with Root Explorer copy it into "/system/media" and replace the one that's already there. (make a backup of the original one before) and change the permissions of that file to "rw-r--r--".

And reboot.

You know the blah blah, do it at your own risk, if makes your Tab explode is not my fault, just to let you know, on my Tab is working perfectly.

Here's a preview:

Any suggestions about screen cut off. Cut off is slight does not bother anything but still if any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

EDIT: Attached photos of the cut off. Mainly the bottom bar is cutting off. Yes i have 3 years old TV.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kegacide:
i would imagine change your TV layout to stretch or something similar based on your TV and it'll fit it across the screen fully...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thepringlesguy:
Could you provide a screen shot of what the image looks like on the screen? 1 I am interested and it may help narrow down the solutions.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
His problem is that the TV cuts the sides off the image not that it cant fill the screen.

The problem is his TV unfortunately does Over-scan and there is nothing you can do to fix it. Must be an older TV from a few years ago.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
I have a last years Samsung LED TV model & I will gladly test it out if you send me your adapter. I will return after the test! :D

Great Idea RMXO :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xQuestx:
I can't find one of these adapters anywhere.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bd85:
Do you have to connect the charger to the adapter to make it work? Or can you use it without any charger and just have it connected to the tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
Go to Verizon retail store and order over there. Yes charger need to be connected to display on TV. I have one thread open over it and you can look over there.

[EVO 4G General] afxtwn:
I have always been one of those people who buys a new phone ever few months, I just never found that phone that did what I wanted to it to do How I wanted it to do it. Well Ive had my EVO since launch and have no plans on retiring it (even though the phone itself is being retired). It just does everything I need it to, takes good pictures (some require editing but what the hell) Works beautifully as my GPS with the Seidio car dock. Plays games (although I don't play games often) Oh..And it makes calls too.

So what kind of phone features would make you ditch your evo?
[EVO 4G General] eaguil16:
A new LTE phone for sprint
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I dont know..maybe a Nexus Prime.
[EVO 4G General] Ve[N]oM:
I just came from a Samsung Epic and I gotta say I miss they keyboard, but the Evo's huge screen pretty much makes up for that along with the HTC Sense keyboard which is definitely the best soft keyboard I've used as well as Swype. Also the Super AMOLED screen was really nice too.

So for something I'd trade it would probably be the Samsung Galaxy S II whenever it comes to Sprint lol it has a 1.2 ghz processor, 4.3 inch Super AMOLED+ screen, I believe an 8mp camera if not 5 mp (the Epic took some great pictures so I'd expect these to be great as well), and also it being thinner which is always good for me.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I've got four months until I am eligible for an upgrade so it's too soon to tell. If it's available when the time comes, probably an iPhone. If not, it'll probably be whatever the flavor of the week Android phone is when my upgrade time comes.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
The only phone I'm interested in is the Galaxy S II. if it has a keyboard...heads WILL roll.
[EVO 4G General] sharkboy0901:
I'm waiting until a phone comes out one that blows the competition away like when the EVO 4g first came out
[EVO 4G General] alex2792:
I traded my Evo for Photon 4g,very happy so far.
[EVO 4G General] smartboy36:
I would wait to get the galaxy phone by samsung. Think it's called the within.
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
If! the so called rumors are true, I would consider the iphone.

For now my ugly ass evo with the extended battery does everything other dual core androids do(except have a damn case! stupid battery:mad:) so I could hold on to it until Q1 2012 or when LTE rolls out.
[EVO 4G General] jessejames111981:
lets see android phones that blew away the competition

HTC Dream G1 (2008)

HTC Supersonic Evo 4G (2010)

so if the trend continues 2012?

unless I get an upgrade before 2012 I'll be waiting for summer 2012 to trade my evo in
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
Something htc in 2012. Like the option of sense and aosp
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
My upgrade just opened up today. I could rush to the store and get a Evo 3D or Photon 4G...but I'm waiting for the Galaxy S II which I guess is supposed to be called the Within. Like I've been drooling over this phone since it was announced. The Evo 3D did not impress me and I felt like it wasn't much of an upgrade over the OG Evo, and while the Photon is a very nice phone Blur is a deal breaker and I've heard the Pentile display isn't the greatest. The GSII just has everything...best display on the market, super thin, fastest processor on the market. And I like how it has a lot more onboard storage than the Evo does (things that would normally be on the SDcard will load faster, and my onboard storage on my Evo gets really tight with some of these massive Sense roms).

It better be released within August. While it just went through the FCC for certification for Sprint, Europe has had it for months. I am getting tired of waiting. Reason I am not waiting till next year for an LTE phone is because I doubt Sprint will even have an LTE network up and running next year. And if they do, it won't be until around this time or later in the year, and by that time I'll have another upgrade open.
[EVO 4G General] kys89012345:

[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
I know... but I had on otterbox on the way before getting the battery (Sprint gave it to me for free) so I will see if somehow I can mod the otterbox defender when it gets here, if not I'll sell it and get the seidio.
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
So there is a lot of hype on how wolf and Z gonna make dual core possible.so here it is how it goes

Our Phones have two processors one main which is 998 Mhz and can be over clocked and another one is the Graphic processor which controls all the graphic stuff in the phone. Now WB is trying to use the graphic processor too along with the main processor.However the graphic processor is only as half as main processor so thats why 50% Dual core. Dual core means 2 processors and thus we will have 2 processors and with hacks we could control how much other processor would be used(something like SetCPU for dual cores).

Now the question arises about graphic quality and if we would compensate with graphics but the distribution of processors is such that NO quality will be compensated and thus we will have 50% dual core

Hope it makes it clear
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
using half the potential of both processors = ????
[XPERIA X10 General] neelpatel007:
wth!!! we have already weak GPU and u r telling to compensate .... I would rather want Dual core 50% GPU....

anyways nice joke
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
You didn't get the joke I guess so? Dual-core phones have 2 cores (100%) our phone is Single-core (50%).

If someone says, I got 50% dual-core that means he has single-core. Because 1 core is 50% of dual core.

Or am I crazy? :p

not much time left before Pilot gets here and closes the thread :P
[XPERIA X10 General] moritd:
Best joke ever!
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
ask Wolfbreak or Z ..we can and we will get the GPU act as a main processor
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
That will be a long wait for you then. Because this aint gonna happen. Why?! Because it is not possible and you didn't get the joke.
[XPERIA X10 General] Wolfbreak:
:D:D:D OMG dude, didnt you read a Page after this Comment that it was a joke. 50% of a Dual Core is = 1 Core^^ The same like you have 50€ and i say i have 50% of 100€ = 50€ same as you.

That's a good idea but I think we should not cause the GPU is not optimized to process other data but graphic. How ever 50% dual core? 1/2 dual ? Equal 1?
